摘要
The current role of micromorphology in paleopedological research is reviewed. Examples are discussed which illustrate its value in the initial identification of paleosols and in their interpretation leading to detailed paleoenvironmental and pedosedimentary reconstructions. Problems concerned with thin-section sampling, description and interpretation are highlighted. These critical issues need to be confronted if the technique is to continue enjoying such high regard amongst specialist and non-specialists alike. (C) 1998 Published by INQUA/Elsevier Science Ltd.
